A nude beach is a beach where users are legally at liberty to be nude. Sometimes the terms clothing-optional beach or free beach are used. Nude bathing is one of the most common forms of nudity in public. As beaches are usually on public lands, any member of the public is entitled to use the facilities without membership in any movement or subscription to any philosophy. The use of the beach facilities is normally anonymous. Unlike a naturist resort or facility, there is normally no membership or vetting requirement for the use of a nude beach. The use of nude beach facilities is usually casual, not requiring pre-booking. Nude beaches may be official (legally sanctioned), unofficial (tolerated by residents and law enforcement), or illegal. However, nude beaches are relatively few and at some distance from cities, and access is at times more difficult than at a regular beach and the facilities at these beaches tend to be very basic.
A nude beach should not be confused with a topless beach (or top-free beach), where upper body clothing is not required for women or men, although a swimming costume covering the genital area is required for both men and women.
Nude beaches first became popular in the 1950s along the French coast[1] and have since spread around the world, though they are still few and far between. Some nude beaches are part of a larger nude area, such as the Cap d'Agde area. Most beaches in Denmark[2][3] and some beaches in Norway[4] are clothing-optional. In Germany there are clothes optional sunbathing areas in public parks, e.g., in Munich[5] and Berlin.[6] Beaches in some holiday destinations, such as Crete, are also clothing-optional, except some central urban beaches.[7] There are two centrally located clothes-optional beaches in Barcelona.[8]
Nude beaches tend to be separate or isolated physically from the non-nude bathing areas. In other instances people maintain a comfortable space between beach users. Signage is often used to warn unfamiliar beach users about the specially designated areas on the beach. This accommodates people who are not comfortable with nudity (see gymnophobia). This also accommodates beach users who do not like to be watched too much, especially by clothed individuals (see voyeurism).
On an officially sanctioned nude beach, beach goers of both sexes have an option to remove their clothing without fearing legal prosecution or official harassment.
Though free beaches developed separately from national naturist bodies, these bodies are taking an interest and helping to protect them legally, and through the publication of guidelines of acceptable behaviour.[9] In North America, the Free Beach Movement was the name of a group that was opposed to the direction of the official nudist organisation, the American Association for Nude Recreation, and set up the rival body The Naturist Society. Clothes free organizations and free beach associations, such as the Naturist Action Committee, lobby for the removal of laws which prohibit nude swimming and sunbathing or the increase in the number of nude beaches and sometimes to improve the amenities at nude beaches.
Most nude beaches had become accepted after many years of use as nude beaches. Many are "unmanaged" beach areas that have been adopted by the local users in an effort to maintain the beach's "quality". Others' right to existence has been recognized as such by the appropriate local authority, and are termed "official" (although not necessarily legitimate).
There are several categories of nude beaches:
Most beaches around the world, including nude beaches, are on public lands. That means that although private resorts and hotels that adjoin a beach may enclose their property behind fences with controlled access, most countries do not allow private ownership of the actual beach area. Thus, while a resort can control access and set clothing standards on its property, these standards would not necessarily apply to the beach itself, which remains subject to local laws or customs, and public access to the beach itself usually remains unrestricted. This applies, for example, to the islands in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Florida. On the Seven Mile Beach in Negril, Jamaica, for example, though the beach is lined with private resorts with fences down to the sand/waterline, the beach itself is open to the public. Though actual clothing standards vary from resort to resort, the beach area is officially designated as "topfree", and public access is unrestricted.
The International Naturist Federation has developed a code of conduct, or etiquette, for use by member organizations. The INF nude beach etiquette requires the avoidance of all forms of sexual harassment and sexual activity, such as masturbation or sexual intercourse. Predatory behavior is not permitted, nor is unauthorized photography.[11] In general, the standards call for the respecting of the privacy of other visitors. Staring is frowned upon by rule and social pressure.[12]

A Jacksonville city councilmans draft bill designed to resolve a bitter landfill fee dispute between the city and Atlantic and Neptune beaches has instead caused more divisiveness as Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown described the legislation as unfair and costly for anyone not living at the Beaches.
City Council President Bill Gulliford, who wrote the draft and whose district covers the Beaches, and Beaches mayors impacted by the dispute accused Brown and his administration of failing to understand the needs of the coastal communities.
A letter Brown sent to the mayors of the two communities Wednesday said the draft bill does not address several remedies proposed by the city to help resolve an impasse in which Jacksonville says Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach owe it more than $1.4 million in tipping fees for solid waste dumped at the Trail Ridge Landfill since 2011. Jacksonville Beach does not have such an agreement with Jacksonville.
A BUDGET FEE
Jacksonville officials, as part of the consolidated county government, began charging the two coastal communities after the City Council added the fee to the budget. Jacksonville says about $370,000 annually from Atlantic Beach and $200,000 from Neptune Beach pays for using the landfill.
But the two smaller cities complained about a variety of problems with the fees, including fears over hidden charges.
The city officials said the proposed bill only covers a proposal for Jacksonville to expand its garbage collection into the two coastal cities.
That proposal would negate the need in the future for the two smaller cities to pay the fee for private contractors to dump residential garbage in the landfill. Jacksonville would charge the cities $12.65 per household for monthly garbage collection by its haulers, the same fee paid by Jacksonville residents.
The $12.65 charge would then be passed on to their residential customers as part of their current garbage fee: $17.78 in Atlantic Beach and $22 a month in Neptune.
But Jim Robinson, Jacksonvilles director of public works, said the reduced charge at the beach would still cost Jacksonville taxpayers about $200,000 a year because of the added travel expense for the citys haulers.

John Sawyer is licked by his dog Charlie with his wife Linda and their other dog Oreo at a dog-friendly beach in Panama City Beach, Fla.
Dogs, long banned from most Volusia County beaches, are getting their chance this year. Eventually.
The County Council has agreed it will at least temporarily allow dogs on the beach in coming weeks, under certain conditions: Only after 4 p.m. and before 9 a.m., and only on leashes.
The move happened abruptly after Councilman Josh Wagner pitched it toward the end of Thursdays council meeting. Might as well throw it out there he said. I want to do a trial, pilot program to allow dogs on the beach.
Do what? responded County Chair Jason Davis.
As the discussion continued, it became evident that most other council members were open to the idea, except Doug Daniels, who asked: What about cleaning up behind them?
An ordinance is expected to come back to the council for a vote in February. The pilot program will last three months, after which the council could either end the practice or extend it.
The council vote ended up 6-1, with only Daniels against.
Vice Chair Pat Patterson, an insurance agent, did raise some concerns, asking: What kind of legal responsibility do we have if a couple of dogs get into it and somebody gets bitten?
County Attorney Dan Eckert said the county would be immune from that kind of liability. (Sovereign immunity protects county governments from liability over planning-level decisions like the dog ordinance.)

Tail-waggin news: Dogs will be allowed on Volusia County beaches

NO GO: The health warning signs went up at Auckland's Mission Bay beach.
Swimmers have been warned off one of Auckland's most famous city beaches because of high levels of bacteria.
Warning signs have been put up at Mission Bay telling swimmers and beach-users of the poor water quality.
The contamination was discovered yesterday by Auckland Council's Safeswim monitoring programme, which tests water quality weekly at 63 Auckland beaches.
"Our advice is for people not to swim at Mission Bay on Thursday and Friday," acting chief operating officer Ian Maxwell said.
"Our testing indicates ... levels of bacteria [that] suggest a potential risk to human health."
The test result has surprised the council because checks of the wastewater and stormwater networks did not indicate a problem, and no overflows had been reported.
"This may be a one-off incident from an animal source, a boat dumping, or a false positive," Maxwell said.
He encouraged beach-users to swim at other local beaches including nearby Kohimarama and St Heliers.

Missing from the bill is a proposal to make up that difference and cut the tipping fees owed to the city in half by granting Jacksonville water quality credits for improvements to quality of the St. Johns River that the Beaches cities produced in part by improvements to their wastewater treatment plants, Robinson said.
Jacksonville has planned to use the credits to meet a commitment it made to the state in 2008 to help the health of the St. Johns River.

Tipping fee impasse continues between Jacksonville and two coastal cities
When my family and I want to enjoy the beach while avoiding traffic and crowds, we head to Ventura. Living in north Los Angeles, most Ventura beaches are less than an hour away from our home. In the summer months, Ventura is a great way to beat the heat. In the winter, many of the beaches are far from crowded. As a lifelong So Cal resident, I have been to many beaches along the west coast. As a mother of two, here are a few of my favorite, family-friendly beaches in Ventura.
Emma Wood State Beach
We went here on New Year's Day. I loved the gradual incline to the water. Overall, the atmosphere was tranquil. We went when the tide was out and my kids could splash in the water. I liked that I didn't have to worry about a rip tide or rough waves (at least when I went). This is a camping beach. However, it is open for day use too. We parked near the north part of the beach, along Pacific Coast highway, and had to climb over some big rocks to get down to the beach. I liked how my car was so close to the sand.
Marina Park
I love this park/beach because it has a huge grassy area to have a picnic. When my son was a baby, I brought a canopy so he could nap in the shade. Closer to the water, there is a seaside playground that was updated recently. There are swings, several playground structures and soft rubber "floor." In addition, there is a fun ship with a zip-line attached. Of course, don't forget to dip your toes in the ocean. This area can get crowded in the summer. However, parking is free and I have never had a problem finding a parking spot. There are bathrooms too and some trails to walk along.
Surfer's Point (a.k.a C-Street) and San Buenaventura State Beach
Although Surfer's point and San Buenaventura are two separate beaches, they are connected by a bike trail. While C-Street is not the best for swimming (hence the name Surfer's Point), it is a great place for surfers or anyone who likes to watch the waves roll in. For non-surfer's, there is plenty of sand (and some rocks). Furthermore, I love the giant promenade for walking around, especially during sunset. It's perfect for jogging with a stroller or bringing bikes for a family ride. Another fun activity is to rent a surrey, a "modern carriage," from wheelfunrentals.com. Other highlights include the children's playground in the sand and the pier. There is a restaurant called Eric Ericsson's with some good fish and chips. However, my favorite place to eat is Aloha Steakhouse on the promenade. Go for lunch for special deals. I love the house salad, blackened fish and their fresh bread; plus, the waiters are always nice to my kids.

Joseph Ford of Woburn and Noelia Aquino of Lowell, center, were honored by the state Tuesday as two of several Department of Conservation and Recreation lifeguards who saved lives last year. From left are DCR Commissioner Jack Murray, Ford, Aquino, Gov. Deval Patrick, and Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rick Sullivan.
BOSTON (AP) -- State officials are honoring young lifeguards who rose to the occasion during emergencies at state beaches and swimming pools last summer.
Gov. Deval Patrick joined the Department of Conservation and Recreation in presenting citations on Tuesday to 33 lifeguards at a Statehouse ceremony.
Last July 4, lifeguard Joseph Ford of Woburn noticed the motionless body of a 5-year-old at the Lord Pool in Lowell and jumped in to save the boy. Noelia Aquino of Lowell then provided CPR with the help of a nurse who happened to be there. The boy, Nay Blut, was released from the hospital within several days. It was Ford's third day on the job.
Domenique Riviera, a Lowell resident, was also honored by the state on Tuesday. Riviera saved an infant at Walden Pond in Concord, who had stopped breathing and had no pulse. As the head lifeguard, she performed the rescue and did rescue breaths. The baby started to cough immediately and Riviera waited with the family until EMS came and transported the baby to Emerson Hospital.
Many of those honored were involved in dramatic water rescues, while others acted quickly to help save victims on land, including a toddler who was choking on food and in one case a person who had overdosed on drugs.
In 2013, the agency hired 677 lifeguards for its 32 swimming pools, 15 ocean beaches and 25 freshwater beaches in Massachusetts.
Lifeguard applicants must be at least 16 years old, have a Red Cross or YMCA lifeguarding certificate and be trained in CPR.

Dear Wendy,
Where is the best place to go in the U.S. for true white sand beaches? If there's an all-inclusive resort there, even better. Thanks,
Linda G.
The beaches of Floridas Gulf Coastparticularly the Panhandle (such as Pensacola Beach and Panama City Beach) and the southwest coast (such as Sanibel Island and the Florida Keys)have the whitest sand in the U.S. Thats because theres only one mineral in the sand there: pure white quartz crystal. The prettiest of these white-sand beaches, according to Stephen Leatherman (Dr. Beach), is Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota. There arent too many first-rate all-inclusives on these beaches, though; those tend to be in the Caribbean.
Personally, I like The Sandpearl in Clearwater Beacha strand so white and soft that youd swear youre walking on baby powder. (It's one of my favorite family-friendly resorts.) Its not all-inclusive, but the total youll spend, including airfare, is likely no more than what youd spend for a Caribbean all-inclusive vacation anyway.

Most Kiwis appreciate the recreational opportunities our beaches offer - whether for beachcombing, surfing, walking the dog, bird-watching, swimming or simply snoozing in the sun. But did you know that beaches are also Natures way of buffering and protecting seafront real estate and infrastructure, such as parks and roads, against high winds and waves during powerful storms or rough seas?
If you live at the beach or visit it regularly, you will have seen how sand on the beach goes through cycles of erosion and accretion (build up).
The erosion process can be dramatic - taking place when big steep seas, combined with high tides, cause waves to pound the shoreline. Big surges of water rush up the beach with considerable force, scarping the dune face.
However, the beach fights back by allowing a proportion of the uprush to percolate into the sediments. As a result, the backrush has less power than the uprush, protecting the beach from erosion.
Gravel beaches are particularly good at protecting themselves from erosion, says NIWA marine geologist and coastal oceanographer Dr Terry Hume, "because they are very permeable".
"With a lot of the uprush water lost into the gravel, the backrush has little power to erode the beach face. Furthermore, the powerful uprush carries with it gravel that gets tossed up by the waves to build up a gravel ridge above high-tide level. This ridge prevents waves tipping over the ridge, creating further erosion."
Sand stripped from the beach and dunes during storms is carried out to sea by the backwash and undertow to the shallow nearshore, where it is deposited in banks. Surfers know this well as waves peeling over these banks in shallow water provide excellent surfing.
Dr Hume, a keen surfer himself, says the formation of these banks is the beach fighting back.
"When waves break on the nearshore banks they absorb wave energy so that the waves have less power when they arrive at the beach, buffering it from further erosion."
Accretion of sand takes place during calmer periods of long, low sea swell and is very gradual. The banks slowly migrate to the shore where they weld onto the beach.

Dozens of people have been rescued from the sea at beaches in northern New Zealand in the last week - including a woman who couldn't swim and two adults without lifejackets blown 2km offshore in a child's inflatable dinghy.
There were 63 rescues at 17 beaches from Raglan to the Far North between Monday and Thursday and on Saturday, according to Surf Life Saving New Zealand, which didn't have figures for Friday.
Lifeguards also administered first aid to 83 people and completed 3777 preventive actions as more than 26,000 flocked to the sand, prompting safety experts to warn beachgoers to stay vigilant.
On the region's busiest day, Thursday, a 25-year-old Pukekohe woman among about 500 people swimming between the flags at Sunset Beach, Port Waikato was lucky to be rescued when she showed no signs of being in trouble.
Lifeguard Bosco McAuley, 20, was able to reach her in seconds, but she had taken on so much water that by the time they came ashore she was nearly unconscious.
Mr McAuley, who was patrolling in the surf because of the large number of rips and and people in the water, noticed a group around the woman raise the alarm.
"She couldn't swim, so she didn't start panicking she just went straight under and then I saw she was in difficulty and that's when I swam over to her," he told the Herald.
"At first I just saw her on a body board and it looked like she was okay, but then there were people that had their hand up. I thought they were just waving to shore; I had to take another look to realise something wasn't right."
Mr McAuley was due to end his patrol at 6pm, 30 minutes later.
"It was pure luck that I happened to be out there on water patrol, otherwise she could have died."

CAROLINE BAY, TIMARU: Smooth and safe, an ideal beach for families.
With so many beautiful beaches, we are spoilt for choice. Six locals give the lowdown on a top seaside spot in their region, and why you should visit.
Ohope Beach,Bay of Plenty
While many holidaymakers in the North Island head to the Coromandel, those after a bit of quiet seclusion go to Ohope Beach. It's easy to find your own spot on this long, sandy stretch, one of the sunniest places in the country. A lack of development means it still feels like a 70s beach town.
How to get there: Fly into nearby Whakatane Airport or Rotorua Airport and then drive for about an hour. If driving, you need to go through Whakatane and from there it's a 10-minute trip. You can also get there via Opotiki if you're heading around the coast.
Best for: Relaxing. The nicest spot is West End, where you'll also find the best waves if you're keen to do some surfing. The beach is safe for families and it has a surf club which operates in summer. If you get tired of lazing around on the beach, there is a mix of walks to historic pa sites, through wildlife reserves, and to hidden beaches.

The Point Whitney Lagoon near Brinnon in Hood Canal is open now through March 15 for clam harvest.
In a state Fish and Wildlife news release a survey indicated that the clam population has decreased, requiring an earlier season that will attract fewer harvesters.
Belfair State Park in Mason County on Hood Canal is now open through Aug. 31 after state Fish and Wildlife surveys found that the clam population can sustain a longer season. The Belfair oyster season is also open year-round.
The clam and oyster season at Fort Flagler State Park in Jefferson County near Port Townsend is open now through April 15, and May 15 through Dec. 31.
Surveys taken showed the clam population at Fort Flagler can maintain a longer season this year. The split season avoids a one-month seaweed season at Fort Flagler.

COLUMBIA, SC A 26-year-old state policy that allows developers to construct high-rise hotels along flood-prone beaches faces scrutiny this year as South Carolina lawmakers examine the financial and environmental risks of building too close to the ocean.
Since the state adopted a sweeping beach management law in 1988, coastal regulators have interpreted the act to mean they could ease development restrictions when taxpayer-funded beach renourishment projects temporarily widen the seashore.
The Department of Health and Environmental Controls interpretation has allowed for construction of towering condo projects on some beaches and plans for mansions on others.
But the states stance on the law has drawn criticism from taxpayer groups and environmentalists.
Critics say DHECs interpretation violates the spirit of the 1988 law, which was intended to push new development projects back from the seashore over time. They say it is foolish to count on artificially widened beaches paid for by taxpayers to buffer new development from hurricanes and rising seas.
Now, state Sen. Ray Cleary is pushing to change the law, making it clear that new buildings can no longer be developed closer to the ocean than the existing line of beach development.
A bill the Murrells Inlet Republican introduced last month would prevent state regulators from ever moving the states building restriction line closer to the ocean. That would affect new buildings, including hotels, as well as new golf courses.
Regulators now will shift the line toward the ocean if communities renourish beaches, but critics say the sand will eventually wash away.
